Medical consultation to identify somatic disorders and abnormal paraclinical findings in hospitalized psychiatric patients is feasible and worthwhile
The study demonstrates that medical consultations for hospitalized psychiatric patients are feasible and important, revealing abnormal biochemical markers and significant somatic comorbidities and lifestyle-related conditions. These findings suggest that routine medical assessments could enhance patient treatment and care and guide targeted interventions for metabolic and somatic health issues in psychiatric settings.
